We’ve mentioned these before. If there truly were equal time in political discourse, then the ad would also carry a petition for the countervailing cause. Or one could simpy check off a box on the “official” petition signalling opposition — which would be required to be reported with equal emphasis to those numbers signed in the affirmative.

But this one jumped out at me an bitch slapped me upside the haid because my immediate response was that countervailing slogan, “Support Sherrod Brown’s Petition to Overthrow the First Amendment.”

Now, Sherrod Brown (thank you for your service to our country) is a despicable shred of human debris, utterly unworthy to be dogcatcher — and I apologize to the hard-working dogcatchers in our fair land, but I am prisoner to the metaphor. So one may be excused for spitting when mentioning his name and wanting to Elvis the Teevee or something when you hear someone else utter it. He is a perfect example to that corollary to Lord Acton’s dictum — power attracts the corruptible. And, possibly an excellent example of what NOT to encourage your children to be when they grow up.

Had to have been a reason they keep him around.

Anyway. That’s our editorial commentary for today. Have a great Friday!

I THOUGHT BACK IN Ought-Nine that the Tea Party was going to be the replacement for the Republican Party, just as the GOP, when it was new, was a replacement for the Whigs. That didn’t happen. Because the Republican Party … Continue reading → The post Idea Endorsed appeared first on BabyTrollBlog.

CAME ON WEDNESDAY this week. Because Toni and I spent Sunday working around the house — mostly to do with taxes — butt in chair, pen in hand, working the numbers. Running them upon occasion, but really, just adding up … Continue reading → The post Photo Safari Sunday appeared first on BabyTrollBlog.

HEART’S CONTENT or comment your heart’s content, whatever. For the past however, in an apparently misguided attempt to keep things “current” (whatever that is), comments on an individual post would close after two weeks.

OF COURSE, THE IRONY IS that I have been — blogging all along, that is — and I have the stats to prove it. (Speaking of which, I need a privacy-respecting alternative to Google Analytics.) Last night, I started a … Continue reading → The post Blogging All Along appeared first on BabyTrollBlog.

SANDERSON has a new post up on the subject of broken windows policing. You know, the way Rudy Giuliani is credited with cleaning up New York.

AS I WROTE SUNDAY NIGHT Toni and I went for our usual weekend photo safari on an overnighter to Columbus’s German Village tourist area and Ohio’s Hocking Valley.
